Ole Cowboy
TGT Addict
In no order, incomplete list, just off the top of my head:
Freedom: The days I wore a gun to the feed store and tractor store and the only word was 'hey nice gun', the Friday before deer season, at lunch hour in the school parking lot and the Principal and teachers going from car to truck looking out early Christmas presents, deer rifles and hearing them warn us that if we missed MONDAY they would call out Dad and ask if we got a deer or did not and the answer better be did not and he is still sitting on that tree stand. Or the time me 'n Ralph did a pantomime to the Song 'Long Tall Texan' and we dressed in our finest Cowboy gear and both of us wore real guns on our hip, ALL DAY at school, I wore my Colt .22 Buntline.
